A week ago, I recommended backing Manchester United to win the Champions League at around 10.0 with most bookies.

I said that we would get through against AC Milan and that our price would come down to around 5.5.

Well, having beaten AC Milan tonight, our price is now around the 6.5 mark and there is undoubtedly more to come from that.

We will finish AC Milan off in the second leg but just in case you’re a bit wobbly about it, lay Manchester United off right now for 7.00 at Betfair (assuming, of course, that you backed us at 10.0) for a nice profit come what may.

I do think however that our price can come down a bit further to my predicted 5.5 once we complete the job against AC Milan so you might want to hold your position for a few weeks and see what happens after the return leg against AC Milan.

Real Madrid have drifted a bit because of their defeat away to Lyon tonight but I do expect they will overcome that deficit in the return leg which might just put them above us again in the betting.

However, if they mess up and go out then our price is likely to come in even further.

My advice is to hold the position. We will go through to the quarter final so your bet will not be lost whatever happens.

See what happens after the second leg of the Real/Lyon tie.
